Who is more deserving of this land? Garbage collectors or endangered tigers?

Who is more deserving of this land? Garbage collectors or endangered tigers?

The city of San Benito, TX is evicting a lady who owns dozens of endangered animals from a barn she rents. She is a retired performer. They are letting the fairgrounds get converted into a waste dump. Hurricane Dolly decimated the area and there’s nowhere to go.

If you can’t help, please raise awareness and pass this on to your friends. Maybe they know someone who can help this poor woman. Time is short.

Contact the sideshow people and they can pass information along to her. http://www.sideshowworld.com/tscs.html

    I'm confused - she rents a barn and lives in it with a bunch of tigers?

    Well...let's break this down:

    If she's renting...then it's not her barn to begin with, so if the owner wants to evict her that's his/her decision.

    If she's living in a barn with tigers...then it's really no surprise that she's being evicted...

    And if they're endangered, then I really don't know why she has them: I can't imagine that the barn is suitable to take care of their needs. Surely they need professional care?! So no, I can not agree with you here. I hope these tigers get a good home, and she does find a place to go.

    See the thing is...there's so much freakin' land in Texas, I find it hard to believe there's nowhere for her to go. I know, I live here.

    As I answered to this same exact question you posted 45 minutes ago, renters are not entitled to property, owners are, and the fact that she's harboring supposedly endangered animals on rented land is immaterial.

    If you had wanted to alert others to this woman's predicament, there are other venues to do that. Instead, you couched it in terms of the pure, abused downtrodden animals versus the powerful, greedy, faceless whoever. You're wrong. The lady doesn't own the land. The owner wants to do something else. She has to move. Period. I'm not heartless, but there are other ways to let people know, such as blogs, message boards...NOT yahoo answers.

    the woman should have helped herself

    she should NOT have got tigers until she owned a permanent place to keep them

    as long as society keeps buying junk and making garbage we will need garbage dumps..
